1. لقد لامني لما بخلت بخاطري

    عليه ولم آمن ضلالته فيهِ

    Indeed, he reproached me when I withheld my thought

    from him, fearing his folly concerning it.

  2. فقال أتخشى أن يذيع لغفلتي

    فقلت أجل قلب المغفّل في فيهِ

    Then he said, “Do you fear it will become public through my heedlessness?”

    So I said, “Yes—the fool’s heart is in his mouth.”
